Ghost 5: I absolutely love this show so I thought I would give this a go. I know my grammar is incredibly bad so please forgive.
THE GIRL NEXT DOOR
CHAPTER FOUR
"So, that went well," Dan said cheerfully
"Don't start twerp," she said in a low voice
Dan simply smiled at her innocently.
"Anyway you better keep it down or they'll think there's someone in here with me," Chris said softly
"Are you ashamed of me?" her brother asked in surprise
"Of course not, it's just that they'll think i've lost my mind or they'll do whatever they can to exorcise you. Trust me you don't want the Winchesters after you, so try and stay out of trouble that means no messing around in their room," she said firmly
"Can't I levitate Dean's bed just once?" Dan asked pleadingly
"I don't think he's in the mood for ghosts at the moment. He looks a little shell shocked," Chris answered frowning at her brother
"Well seeing you again was probably a big shock," he agreed
Chris suddenly looked at the wall behind her headboard.
"Ssh," she whispered and then climbed on the bed
Chris put her ear close to the wall and listened.
"Oh I see, want me to take a look?"
"Would you mind?" Chris asked politely
"For my big sister, anything," Dan said before sticking his head through the wall
Dan stuck his head through the wall and found Sam pacing about the room while Dean was sat on the bed.
"I think we should go and see the victims first, we got to find out what this thing is," Sam said impatiently
"Hmm," Dean replied
"Are you seriously ok?" he asked
"Yeh i'm fine,why?" Dean answered
"It's Chris isn't it?" Sam asked
Dean looked away from him.
"I knew it," he muttered
"It was inevitable Sam, Dad knew it was going to happen from the day I became friends with her," Dean said in a low voice
Sam sat down a smile tugged at his lips.
"Wanna tell me about it?"
"Nothing to tell," he answered "She made the right choice in leaving, I just didn't expect her to come back,"
"You know the only thing that probably could have brought her back would be if Dad told her to," Sam said thoughtfully
"She's a professor Sam, she's probably over here to do a lecture or something. Her hunting days are over even i can see that," Dean said angrily
"Oh no it's not, I thought my days were over and i was proven wrong," he said sympathetically
"Anyway, we're not here to sort out my love life we're here to do a job," Dean said getting up off the bed and putting his jacket on
Dan stuck his head back through the wall.
"Well what did you get?" Chris asked curiously
"Not much, Dean's obsessing over you," Dan gave her a smile
Chris frowned.
"Great," she muttered
"What's the matter? It's supposed to be a good thing," Dan said puzzled
"There's a reason why i left America, and it's not because Auntie Caroline got custody of me because she was quite happy for me to stay here with John and the boys, it was because I knew that if Dean and I ever got together there would be a big chance i would end up like his mom. Unfortunately Sam found out first hand, poor guy," she said sadly
"Auntie Caroline was disappointed that I didn't stay with them, she knew Dean and I would be a great couple. I told her that I was afraid I would end up like Mary, that's why she taught me wicca and a few other things,"
"Yet you've been afraid to come home all this time," Dan said curiously
"Dean and I parted company very badly," she said in defeat
"He's a big boy now, he'd have got over it," Dan said with a shrug
Chris released a slow sigh.
"Perhaps you two just need to get to know each other again, and besides I'm here to protect you too,"
Chris slowly smiled at her brother.
"Ok, so where have they gone?"
"To see the victims," Dan said brightly
Sam and Dean stood at the end of the hospital bed looking at the young man that was Ben Hudson.
"Can he hear us?" Sam asked the nurse
"I don't know," Dean answered "You can never tell with coma victims, they can respond to things but i don't think they can hear you,"
Dean circled the bed looking carefully at him, Ben was very pale and worn with purple shadowing under his eyes. Sweat was beading along his forehead as he lay there motionless. He began to think of the creatures that could this to its victims, vampires came to mind but they left tell tale signs and this guy didn't have any wounds or anything. Dean hated not having answers for this kind of thing.
The door of the ward opened again, Dean saw the victim's eyes twitch in response, coma victims were known for making movements like that. He looked up and saw Chris walking into the room looking calm and carefree, Sam closed the door behind her then grabbed her arm and pinned her to the wall.
"Why are you here?" he asked
"Sam, let her go," Dean said firmly
"Come on Dean, sine we're altogether again we might as well find out why she's here," Sam answered
Sam looked back to Chris who was glaring daggers at him.
"It's a long story and this isn't this place to tell it," she answered "Now let go of my arm,"
Sam slowly let go and watched her walk to the bed.
"What do you think did this?" she asked
Dean rose to his feet.
"Vampire," he answered "Other than that I don't know,"
"There's no bites Dean, yet he seems to be getting weaker and weaker," Chris said encouragingly
Dean still looked at her confused, was she helping him find the answer?
"Funny how this strange virus only seems to be affecting the male population," she said raising her eyebrows and looking at the victim sympathetically
"I thought it was a vampire at first too, but it looks like we have something a lot worse on our hands,"
Sam and Dean looked at her impatiently, Chris decided to put them out of their misery.
"Looks like we have a succubus problem gentlemen,"
Everything suddenly fell into place.
"Great, so how do we get rid of it?" Sam asked
"It's finding the damn things that's going to be the hard bit," she answered "From what i've studied succubus's hunt in packs of two and are damn near impossible to find, because they look like everyday people and you wouldn't even notice,"
"Well I think we have some sort of sporting chance anyway," Dean cut in
"What makes you say that?" Chris asked
"We have a sense for the supernatural and we also have you, so i think our odds are looking up slightly," he answered
"Since you put it that way," she said brightly "I guess so,"
"First we have to find out who they are," Sam said thoughtfully
"Are you three family?" a surprised nurse asked
"Yes we're his cousins," Dean said confidently
Chris knew that the nurse wasn't buying it.
"Sorry for being in here nurse, we're going," she apologised
Chris stood by her car and smiled at her friends.
"You two really need to improve your hustling,"
"Try telling Dean that," Sam said defensively
"Hey dad used to say that it didn't matter what you said just be confident and go with it," Dean said putting his hands up
"I've heard better excuses for not handing in assignments," she said leaning against her Jeep "Anyway what are we going to do about dinner tonight?"
"How about we get take out and you come over to our room?" Dean asked
"Ok, i'll follow you," she nodded
"Do you mind if i come with you? Only i can't take any more of Dean's music," Sam asked
Chris smiled and through him her car keys.
"Why don't you drive my car back to the motel and Dean and i will get the dinner?" she suggested "That's if it's ok with you Dean?"
"Sure," he answered
"Be careful with her won't you Sam," Chris said before getting into Dean's car
"Don't worry," he replied
Chris strapped herself in and relaxed into the seat as Dean started the car up.
"So, gonna tell me why you've come home?" he asked "And don't tell me it was because you were missing your friends,"
"I've kept in contact with your dad through e mail, I told him six months ago that i was going to go on sabbatical before settling into my permanent job as a professor of Parapsychology. He suggested that I come home and spend some time with you two," She answered "I got a call from him before I came out here telling me that I should come down here and check it out,"
"Has he ever told you where he is?" Dean asked
"No," she answered "I knew a long time ago never to question your dad and that meant asking where he was or what he was hunting, and as clichéd as it sounds I have missed you Dean,"
Dean liked hearing her say his name in that warm accent.
"You never called," he said childishly
"Neither did you, I thought you hated me so I didn't try and get in touch with you. I spoke to your Dad and Sam all the time, even when Sam left you and your dad he still kept in contact with me," Chris said thoughtfully "I was afraid that you still hated me so I never came back home,"
Dean stopped at the red light and looked at her.
"I have never hated you Chris, never, I was more angry with myself for being selfish and not understanding why you went in the first place,"
She smiled warmly and looked aimlessly out the window.
"I never stopped thinking about you," Dean said in a low voice
"Look Dean, I don't think we should do this," Chris said cautiously "You don't even know if I'm seeing anyone,"
He leant across to her and looked her straight in the eye.
"Are you seeing anyone?" he asked
"No," she answered in a soft voice "You?"
"No," he whispered
His hand rested against her cheek for a moment, she had become stunning just like he imagined. She leant forward and so did he, his lips were mere millimetres away from hers and he had waited for this day for a long time.
"Hey asshole!" a guy yelled
Dean leant out of the driver's window and looked at the driver behind him
"It's on green!" he yelled
"Sorry pal," Dean called back
"Maybe some other time hey Dean," Chris said before chuckling softly
